Most Common Question People Have:How can I keep the bears away from my garbage cans in town?
Answer:Try to keep all possible food sources put away. This includes putting your garbage in the trash cans the morning of garbage pickup if possible. Also keep pet food in bear proof containers or inside the home or secure buildling. Take hummingbird feeders inside at night and only put out enough bird food to last through the day. Pick up fruit from fruit trees as it ripens and pick up all spoiled fruit from the ground as it falls. Clean barbeque grills as they are used and store them in a closed sturdy shed or garage. The less attractants the less likely a bear will come around looking for food.
